Apt-get upgrade on jessie image breaks wlan0

[nabbal]

Hello,

I have another issue with the new Debian Jessie image.
I have a A20-OLinuXIno-LIME2 with a MOD-WIFI-R5370-ANT plugged in one of the USB ports.
I've configured the wlan0 interface like this:

Code Select Expand

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.30.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
and everything was working fine until I did an upgrade of the libraries (apt-get upgrade).

Now the interface is not mounted on startup, and if I try manually it fails:

Code Select Expand

sudo ifconfig wlan0 up     
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory

dmesg give me the following output (tried 2 times after startup):

[ 1024.367352] phy0 -> rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Error - Failed to request Firmware.


Am I missing something ?

Maybe something like a path changed, say to module(s) with version number in the path, probably for the firmware.

Maybe the "linux-firmware" package got removed with the upgrade?

No, I have checked. I also removed the package firmware-ralink and reinstalled it... Same issue.

You need to report this to those who broke it!

It's no-one here, right?  So report here is likely to get no fix.
